The Story behind the Business Japanese Vocabulary CD

-- Edward Trimnell

Why a  Business Japanese Vocabulary CD?

I began using Japanese in a professional capacity in 1990. I spent a number of years working as a translator; and I held a number of positions in the sales, purchasing, and planning departments of Japanese companies.

Early in my career, I frequently found that I lacked the business, financial, and accounting vocabulary that are necessary in a corporate environment. By this time I already had a solid grasp of the fundamentals of Japanese, and I could converse quite competently about everyday topics. But my limited Japanese business vocabulary hampered my ability to discuss advanced workplace topics.

I remedied this shortcoming by creating literally thousands of business vocabulary flashcards over a three-year period. My method was simple: when I came across a business, technical, or accounting term that I didn’t know, I would look the word up and write it down on a flashcard. I used 3” x 5” at the time because these were easy to store and carry with me on business trips.

The flashcards were simple in principle, but they help me to achieve the results I wanted. I studied the cards whenever I had a few spare minutes -- and it wasn’t long before I found myself remembering complicated business terminology in Japanese conversations.

The Business Japanese Vocabulary CD is a tool that I have created to help other students of business Japanese achieve the same results. On the CD-R you will find more than 3,450 vocabulary items arranged in two formats. There is a click-through flashcard format that allows you to study the cards on your computer screen, and a print-out format that can be outputted to your printer for creating your own study cards.

Who can get the most benefit from the Business Japanese Vocabulary CD?

The vocabulary items on the CD are intended for intermediate / advanced students of Japanese who want to improve their grasp of professional vocabulary. Therefore, this CD may not be useful to beginners, and people whose interest in the Japanese language is limited to basic conversation and everyday topics.

Is this a multimedia program?

No. The Business Japanese Vocabulary CD is not a multimedia program. It is essentially a huge collection of flashcards in a pdf format. The electronic pdf format was chosen because it enables the publisher to offer many times more content than could be offered in a traditional flashcard package.
 

"..this CD-ROM contains Japanese business and technical vocabulary that you simply won't find in textbooks and dictionaries."
